Hi all, I am shortly replacing both sets of front brake pads on my 2003 Yamaha XJR1300, I'm not sure what make are currently fitted but I have noticed in the short time I have owned her they are noisy and although the bike stops well enough, I feel it could do alot better. I just wanted to throw out the question and pick your brains & draw on your experience because there are many known brands / manufacturers out there, some well known like Brembo, EBC, Gold Fren, Ferodo, Vesrah etc, and some not so well known. Once you have chosen a manufacturer, then you have to choose the compound, HH, Sintered, Carbon, Ceramic etc. What a mine field this is, so you see your experience is invaluable, please advise ????? Best regards and stay upright: Geoff
